Found this recipe via an email from Spark People. My Sunday desert crowd was meeting today – and the normal pie menu was replaced with cookies due to a food injury on the main coordinator. I figured these would do nicely! I’m not a big fan of most of my cookies – although i could eat an entire batch without them being cooked! This is no different- batter is great, cookies so-so – although hubby thought they were yummy!
The normal cookie scooper will not do, it gets gummed up. I found rubber gloves, small balls, mooshed prior to placing on the pammed cookie sheet worked best!
